In A Darkened Room Lyrics - Slave To The Grind - Skid Row

In a darkened room 

Beyond the reach of God's faith 

Lies the wounded, the shattered remains of love betrayed 

And the innocence of a child is bought and sold 

In the name of the damned 

The rage of the angels left silent and cold 

Forgive me please for I know not what I do 

How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true 

Tell me when a kiss of love becomes a lie 

That bears the scar of sin too deep 

To hide behind this fear of running unto you 

Please let there be light 

In a darkened room 

All the precious times have been put to rest again 

And the smile of the dawn 

Brings tainted lust singing my requiem 

Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust 

And watch the crystallize 

While my salvation it crumbles to dust 

Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm 

I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore 

Tell me when a kiss of love becomes a lie 

That bears the scar of sin too deep 

To hide behind this fear of running unto you 

Please let there be light 

In a darkened room
